Honey G to take on mannequin challenge with help from the judges during this week's X Factor

Controversial rapper Honey G is to be the latest celebrity to take on the mannequin challenge - and is doing so with the help of the X Factor judges.

Simon Cowell, Nicole Scherzinger, Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh will need to hold steady as Honey G attempts to complete the challenge during this week's live show.

Honey G - real name Anna Georgette Gilford - will take on the challenge in a bid to reach the final four after she almost crashed out of the show last week, a source revealed.

They said: "Honey is singing two songs this week -- U Can't Touch This by MC Hammer, picked by Louis, and her own choice, a mash-up of Salt-N-Pepa's Push It mixed into Black Beatles.

"She came up with the amazing idea of doing a mannequin challenge live on the show and getting all the judges involved. It's a big risk in front of millions of viewers as it could all go horribly wrong, but if she pulls it off it will be huge.

"After ending up in the bottom two last week, she is doing everything she can to get into the semis."
